Our hairy baby!
My husband and I adopted our first hairy baby a few weeks ago from the Seattle Humane Society, and we are in love. Our dog, Newton, is a Basenji/Terrier mix and is such a sweetheart. He loves snuggling and meeting new people and dogs. Heās the best.
I had Friday off and thought itād be a good time to practice some watercolor techniques Iām reading about in āUrban Watercolor Sketchingā. Since Newton likes to nap a lot, heās the perfect model.
Superdog!
Did a test animation of my parentsā chihuahua, but as a superdog. š Trying to get the hang of animating cloth and coloring in TVPaint.
Hubby sketch
Sketch during last Drink and Draw. Poor Karl tends to be the subject of my drawing experiments. Thanks for putting up with it! <3
Free yogurt
My friend, Jenny, informed me that Yogurtland was giving away free frozen yogurt because of National Frozen Yogurt Day.
I only want things when theyāre free. Thatās how I roll.
Day off
It didnāt occur to me to check the hours of the museum before dragging my husband to Seattle.
Zoka barista
Thanks for the delicious gingerbread latte, Mr. Zoka barista!
NYC Gesture drawings
NYC is a people watcherās paradise! I took this for granted when I used to visit the city as a kid. I found that sitting at a cafe with a window that faces a crosswalk is the best: you get a little more time observing AND new āmodelsā stream in every few minutes with the crosswalk light changing.
The bottom page was watching siblings doodle in their own notebooks while sitting on the window ledge above the chairs in the waiting area outside our airport gate. It was fun watching them sit somewhere people wouldnāt normally sit; but thatās whatās fun about kids. They see things differently than adults.
Coffeeeeeeeee…
My studio had their annual āIdea Jamā this past week. Itās where employees can work on any project that they feel will better themselves as a person. At the end of one week, everyone gives a presentation on what they learned. All I can say that it was really inspiring to see what my co-workers presented: from dance choreography to mastering coding skills to sculpture, painting, and game projectsā¦I am lucky to be working with such talented people, and to work for a studio that invests in such people!
My āIdea Jamā project was to teach myself how to use TVPaint and to create a 2d animation in it via my Surface Pro 2. Iāve always wanted to figure out how to create animation on the go, and this week was the perfect opportunity.
